Is Malocclusion Causing Your Headache?

Are you a Palm Harbor area adult who suffers with chronic headaches? Have you tried Imitrex, diet adjustments, and chiropractic treatment? Perhaps the cause is not stress-induced tension, spine alignment or eyestrain. Maybe the culprit is right under your nose.

Bite misalignment or malocclusion is a common general dentistry problem that often goes undetected. Nature intended the front teeth to fit slightly forward from the lower teeth. With a perfect bite, the molars fit together like precision gears.

Clear braces are an effective solution for most bite problems. Braces not only move teeth, they can also correct the position and function of the TMJ, jaw joints, muscles and bones in the jaw. In cases of extreme malocclusion, jaw surgery in Palm Harbor may be necessary.
